SOGIE-related school violence covers sexuality and gender-identity/ expression-related bullying and other violent acts and threats, occurring in and around educational contexts. These may result in physical, verbal, sexual, psychosocial or technology-related harm to children. It is based on gender and sexuality stereotypes, particularly roles and norms expected of children because of the privileging of heterosexual norms and gender roles in society. The study on SOGIE-related school violence in secondary schools of Viet Nam revealed some important findings on the level of SOGIE-related violence that LGBT students experienced in schools, their perception of school safety, as well as their responses to this form of school violence. Based on the evidence collected from the study results, several recommendations were proposed, including those for policy makers, curriculum developers, and schools, to prevent SOGIE-related school violence and build a safe, healthy school environment for all learners.
